2010 May Wine Club Reserve Selection
Susie Selby is her father's child. Raised by a man who loved wines of all sorts, not just the big powerful wines with high scores or the most elegant or the most well known, but all of them, she was encouraged to taste and love wine, enthralled with the lure and history of it as she was growing up.
It was her dad's dream to have a Selby family label, so Susie pitched in with the marketing development when he first launched it. It was only then that Susie began to really fall in love with winemaking itself, and in the early 1990’s, Susie ditched the corporate career to learn everything she could about making wine, from driving a forklift to running a tasting room. Sadly, her father passed away in 1997, but Susie carried on the legacy on her own, now in her fifteenth vintage.
Chardonnay was the first wine they made, and one of the wines she continues to love. While this one is for all of you who have patiently waited through the zestier whites to get to some buttery ripe California Chard, Susie still balances that buttery fruit with a good dose of acidity.
Winemaker's Notes:
This wine is from California's most prestigious region for Chardonnay, the Russian River Valley. The grapes from Orsi Vineyard offer notes of stone fruits. The Syar Vineyard delivers floral aromas and flavors. The Cornerstone Vineyard's Dijon Clone imparts tropical and citrus characteristics. The result is an intense, full-bodied wine with excellent structure.
